The Leopard strikes

Posted in Catch Reports on 12th September 2009

Carp just don’t get much better looking that this absolute stunner of a fish known as The Leopard. The lucky captor was team Essential member Martin Finan who recently managed to bank the impressive creature from a Glos gravel pit at a weight of 36lb 12oz.

Just days before the capture Martin introduced a couple of kilo’s of B5 into some snags and watched The Leopard bully the other fish out of the way to get to the bait so he wasn’t surprised to see it end up in the bottom of his net on his next session. Great observation, great fish and a great bit of angling.


Short term preserved boilies

Andy Clark successfully used our short term preserved boilies to tempt this awesome 67lb giant from Gigantica in France.

Many anglers love fresh/freezer boilies, whilst others prefer the convenience of shelf life boilies for those extended sessions or trips abroad. We therefore decided to develop a 'hybrid' between the two and our short term preserved boilies have been used with remarkable success across Europe. Their 30-day shelf life suits many anglers, and if you plan to have your bait delivered a few days before your trip, they will not only be fine for the duration of your stay, but any that are brought back can be put in the freezer and treated as freezer bait thereafter.

These boilies are also ideal for customers ordering bait from outside the UK, because the baits will withstand the shipping duration and can be placed in your freezer ready to use as required. Due to a 'drying out' period they are generally slightly harder than standard freezer boilies.
